Where to leave the dog on holiday?

there is four basic options - friends (friends, relatives), the coming "nanny", home overexposure and special hotels for animals. Each option has its own advantages and disadvantages.

If you do not want anyone to give your dog on vacation, you can take advantage of the services of the incoming "nanny". She will come to your apartment towalk and feed the dog. You can ask your relatives or neighbors to be such a "nanny" or hire a person who is doing it professionally for a fee.

The main disadvantages of this option are two. The first is the loneliness of your pet (yetmost of the time it will be completely alone). The second is the need to entrust the keys to the house to an unfamiliar person (if you hire a person from outside).

Leaving the dog on vacation with friends, you will not suffer the question: "How is she there, with strangers?". However, do not forget that, no matter how true a friend, not the fact that he will be able to become a good temporary master for your pet.

Try to choose friends who already have dogs and know what it is. Well, make sure that the dimensions of their apartment allow them to temporarily shelter your dog. If you have chihuahua, then of course there will be no problems, but if the dog is large, not everyone can take it.

If none of the friends can take your dog to you, while you are resting, you can take advantage of overexpensive services. A person places your dog at home and cares for it for a fee (usually it is calculated daily).

People who provide the service of overexposure can be found on the forums of "dog-owners". Desirable collect as much information about the host as possible (in the same forums, say) and make sure of its good reputation.

You can also leave the dog on vacation in special hotel for animals. The same overexposure, only more professional. Search for a hotel is better through friends to choose a reputable institution with a good reputation.

Before you give the dog to the hotel, it is better to go there and "scout the situation". Examine the paddock, kitchen, cages foranimals. See how the staff treats guests. The animals themselves should look cheerful and healthy. The hotel should be located in a fenced area with closed entrance gates.

Giving the dog to an overexposure or to a hotel, be sure to pay attention to the questions that you will ask the host overexposure or hotel employees. The more they want to know about your dog,the better they will take care of her. And you, in turn, should be frank with them. If your dog has "bad habits", it is better to speak about them at once.

If the dog is sick, you should not keep it in mind, because you can endanger the health of other guests. This is more about overexposures: in a good hotel your dog will not be accepted without examination from a veterinarian and a veterinary passport with all the necessary vaccinations. If you do not ask for a vet passport when you are taken to an animal hotel, you should doubt the quality of such a hotel: even if your dog is healthy, where is the guarantee that all the guests are healthy?

Wherever you leave the dog on vacation - friends, on overexposure or in a hotel - for her, such a change in the situation will be stressful. Therefore, be sure to take to a temporary place of residence your favorite toys of the dog, its bowls for food and water, litter.

If your dog feeds on food, be sure toget it in the required quantity. In the case of overexposure and hotel, sometimes it is enough to pay a certain amount, and the necessary food will be bought for you. If you leave the dog with friends, it's easier to give them the necessary amount of food and Strictly warned not to spoil it with all sorts of harmful treats.
